lyrics
Father said you cut yourself today
when'd you go and get that way?
Mother says you're running out of town
I really miss you
Father says these bills are still unpaid
now he's just the bearer of the spade
mother says look what you've done to us
and throws the dirt down
I will take this penny from you
and throw it in the well
Father says you never seem to call
ripped the socket from the wall
mother says you're hiding in the earth
I sure hope so
Saw you turning tricks to reddest light
promise that that ghost will sleep tonight
bit my tongue against our fathers grace
Jesus Christ I miss you
But I will take these pennies from you
and put them on your eyes.
when'd you go and get that way?
Mother says you're running out of town
I really miss you
Father says these bills are still unpaid
now he's just the bearer of the spade
mother says look what you've done to us
and throws the dirt down
I will take this penny from you
and throw it in the well
Father says you never seem to call
ripped the socket from the wall
mother says you're hiding in the earth
I sure hope so
Saw you turning tricks to reddest light
promise that that ghost will sleep tonight
bit my tongue against our fathers grace
Jesus Christ I miss you
But I will take these pennies from you
and put them on your eyes.
